Paradoxically?, I agree.

and all of the other idiotic things you do online...

You can't help that you are socially handicapped... if you weren't you would have been laid long ago.

Don't hate on me, I'm just a spewer of truth.

Why don't you cry about it, bitch?

Stop running your mouth. You started it, punk.

Haha... yeah, I said you are socially handicapped... then you totally prove me to be correct.

EPIC WIN for Travis.

EPIC FAIL for Clayton!

I personally work hard to use these social networks to reflect and drive my real life that I am meeting. Twitter (again this is just me) has opened the door to a lot of business contacts and things that keep me active in person. Travis runs around in the same circle and can attest to this...in addition to the business side I have met and become close with some really amazing people that I consider good friends.

Exactly... aside from that... If I were single... I would be using the power of twitter to score some poon. Because, the social media events have a lot of good looking women at them... who are computer savvy and generally brilliant.

In fact, I know a couple HOT HOT girls who live in Houston... too bad that Clayton here only likes to hang out where only dudes are. heh.

But, yeah, the business friendships made via twitter are UNREAL.

who cares about twitter. Tickling her little pink tweeter is where its at.

Twitter is almost the same thing as using this messageboard. Its just 1 huge ass one is all.

People can hate all they want, but its just a global message baord. Nothing more, nothing less.

I think Twitter has much potential but like everything else on the internet it takes a lot of fine tuning to sort through all the bull shit.

As an example, I started following a Kansas City Chief update (I forget the name and I can't get on the website from work to check) before I left for work on Monday. When I logged on again Wednesday Morning I must have 120 posts telling me every scrap of information this person could dig up and 99% of it was worthless. I could come here and check for relevant news easier than dig through all that spam.

Deleted him off the list.

On the other side of the spectrum I searched the burg and found a guy who sorts though the local news, bar reviews, restaurant reviews and posts that's worth reading from the local media. Found a local "Campaign for Liberty Group" and meet now up with them twice a month right up the road from where I live. They have guest speakers and all kinds of useful information going on 2 miles away from my house that I had no idea about.

I'm starting an update for local fly fishing and kayaking update. Little stuff like where the fish and game is stocking the streams, what flys are working, techniques, best locations (the one's I'm willing to share) and when we'll be meeting up for a beer and burger at the end of the day.

One thing I wish they would implement is a separate thread each person or group you follow instead of one big linear file. I've already sent them psuedocode and the suggestion. I'm waiting for my six figure offer letter. :D

It's a neat tool that works exactly as you use it for the most part.

As I understand it, Twitter is used to learn about what other people are doing. Since I don't really care about what other people are doing, I fail to see why I would want to participate.

No doubt finding quality people to follow is the name of the game.

Some girl at the bank asked me if I twitter. I was confused at first but then just proceeded to stick my hand down the front of her pants. :shrug:

...that is NOT what she meant.
